Product Description

The Telewave TPRC-1008-1 Bandpass-Bandreject Cavity Filter 88-108 MHz, is 8” diameter, ¼-wavelength Pass-Reject cavity with an adjustable coupling loop and tuning capacitor. Pass-Reject cavities reject all frequencies outside a narrow pass band, with a tunable notch for additional protection with close spacing. These cavities are commonly used to reduce transmitter sideband noise, and protect receivers against desensitization.

TPRC-1008 cavities cover 88-108 MHz, and can be tuned at 50 or 75 ohms upon request. All cavities are tuned to specified frequencies prior to shipping, and no further adjustments should be required. The positive locking mechanism allows for quick field re-tuning if frequency changes become necessary. These cavities feature calibrated adjustable coupling, and insertion loss can be easily set from 0.5 dB to 2 dB or more to improve selectivity. This allows cavity response to be optimized for any operating environment.

Excellent frequency stability is achieved by the use of a specially machined compensator and Invar rod. The pass and reject frequencies are temperature stable from -30°C to +70°C. Telewave Ground Loop technology places the center conductor of each coupling loop at DC ground potential for lightning protection and noise reduction.

Heavy duty materials are used throughout each cavity to insure high performance and long life. Cavity top plates are machined from ¼ -inch aluminum, and are heliarc welded to the cavity body at the high current point for improved conductivity and strength. This allows Telewave cavities to handle up to 350 watts, depending on insertion loss.
